Just bought my first “I’m kinda starting to figure this out wing”. While riding back from a session the other day, our horrible quality roads/bike paths rattled my wing loose from my bike rack and it started dragging on the ground. I felt like I was gonna have a stroke when I heard it grinding on the pavement. I was wondering if this is minor enough that I should just round it out a bit and clean it up or should I rebuild the tip back to the original. First image is damaged, second is opposite side undamaged.
had similar thing happen. once was bag in water the wing began whistling. had to sand it down thereafter.
You’ll soon realize these are made of multiple layers of carbon. They’re not delicate like a surfboard. That’s the only good thing about them and why it doesn’t hurt to spend so much money on them. That is a superficial scratch. You’ll be fine. Some wet sandpaper to make it smooth if it’s whistling.

Thanks, yeah I know scratches are mostly cosmetic. I wasn’t sure if leading edge/wing tips had a more noticeable effect that you need to worry about.
